Medical Weight Loss Clinic - Royal Oak

**Initial Consultation and Medical History**: Your first visit involves a comprehensive 60-90 minute appointment where the physician reviews your complete medical history, previous weight loss attempts, current medications, and weight-related health concerns. You'll discuss your weight loss goals and receive education about available treatment options including prescription medications.

**Medical Evaluation and Laboratory Testing**: The physician conducts a thorough physical examination and orders appropriate blood work including comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid profile, thyroid function tests, and diabetes screening. This testing identifies underlying conditions that may be contributing to weight gain or preventing weight loss success.

**Personalized Treatment Plan Development**: Based on your medical evaluation results, the physician creates an individualized treatment protocol that may include prescription medications, specific dietary guidelines, and activity recommendations. The plan addresses your specific metabolic issues and health conditions while considering your lifestyle and preferences.

**Medication Initiation and Dosing**: If you're a candidate for prescription weight loss medications, the physician starts you on appropriate dosing and provides detailed instructions for administration, potential side effects, and when to contact the office. They'll also coordinate with your pharmacy and insurance company for medication approval.

**Regular Monitoring and Adjustments**: You'll have follow-up appointments every 2-4 weeks initially to monitor your response to treatment, adjust medications as needed, and address any side effects or concerns. The physician tracks your weight loss progress and makes modifications to optimize your results while maintaining safety.

**Long-Term Maintenance and Support**: Once you've achieved your initial weight loss goals, the clinic helps you transition to a maintenance phase with continued medical supervision, ongoing medication management if needed, and strategies to prevent weight regain through sustainable lifestyle modifications.
